iMessage bug could have allowed attackers to read data from any iPhone

Google’s Project Zero has unveiled details of a bug in Apple’s iMessage that lets attackers read data from an iPhone without any user interaction.

Apple released fixes for various products this week, including one for a bug that has been public with proof-of-concept code for two months.

Apple’s update patches 51 iOS holes, the more serious of which include bugs in Safari, Keychain and FaceTime.

The latest version of iOS includes bug fixes and at least one new feature that might be of interest to security-minded users.
